By then, you may have lost a cage corner to an errant blitz or been forced to use another player somewhere else on the board. Often you may cage up for a couple turns, moving forward until you can break through the defense. In fact, rarely will your cage maintain its integrity all the way to the end zone. If you watched the Orc match, the disadvantages should also be fairly obvious. You protect your ballcarrier and force your opponent to engage with you which can put you in a good position to bop them on the face.

The advantages of caging should be obvious.

Two opponents to cancel out assists and there's a free blitz on your ballcarrier with no negative assists (assuming neither of the top or right blue players have Guard). So, if you can't cancel out their negative assists on the block (or if those players have Guard), odds are you'll be throwing a -2db. And, even if you get into the cage, you're now standing next to two opponents trying to throw a block. Well, sure, an opponent could do a dodge and try to get in, but then you're trying to dodge into 3 tackle zones, and for the average player (AG3) that's a 6+ D6 roll. The cage takes many forms, but in every instance there's no way for the opponent to walk past your line of defense and punch your ballcarrier. There is no one configuration of players that is called 'The Cage' As said earlier, once they lose the ball, it's hard for them to get it back as they just have a few players that can handle the ball.Caging is, very simply, surrounding your ballcarrier with players so that your opponent cannot possibly hit them. Then have someone ready to snatch the ball. On defense, make them move the ball around and pressure them into a bad position. An orc that wanders away from the rest will get attacked with claws. I guess what I am trying to say is: On offense, stick to your game and keep you players together. He fell for it and could not build a propper cage which I then happily exploited to snatch the ball.

I remember one game against orcs where I was first trying to break the cage, which did not work too well, and then decided to give the other coach some room near the endzone. It's more a game of keep away and make a run to the endzone when there is a hole in the defense.

I don't feel necros are particularly good at caging as the players are too slow to move the cage. Zombies and Fleshies are usually tied up or busy blocking pieces and are to slow to assist in scoring plays. I am very cautious with GFIs when I have the ball, which in my case sometimes results in bad positioning. What seems to make me give games away (and what I remember from winning against necromantic teams) is when I am forced to make a run to the endzone. I just made my first necromantic team that wins more games than losing them. If you do well, they will have to rely on some ag3 dodges to work.

Of course they are still av8 plus regen, but if they go, necros lose a lot of power.Īlso I'd play agressive when I can - Necros are good at grinding but not that good at elf bs - use your superior str and guard to make ball carriers life difficult. Eventually they will put themselves in a hitable spot. This is why I said that a good coach wont jsut hand you a ww hit. What can you do about that? Do you blitz your way through and put a few (not too valuable) players in tacklezones next to the wolves? Of course then they get free blocks with claw. Taking out sniping werewolves when protected by a screen of zombies I find very difficult. But you will still have str, guard and even ag advantage to pull sometihing off. Orks are surely not the best team to beat Necros though, as they are not fast themselves and vulnarable to claw. If you somehow take care of wws (put a tz on them, take em out, etc), Necros can't catch up and it is hard for them to recover the ball if you steal it. Their biggest limitation is their speed though. Originally posted by Hairy Coo:WWs and ghouls are vital to necro offense, aim for them first, allthough good coach will protect them and you will need to get through the blodge as well.
